>You back away and upward, slashing at its claw. Your blade claws against its scaly fingers, and is nearly torn from your hands by the force behind the blow, which passes scarcely a foot from your chest.
>The behemoth continues to bear down upon you in the meantime, closing in and following through with its other claw from the opposite direction.

>You ascend! The claw swipes toward you, forcing you to pull your legs up to keep them safe, Your torso, with its many wounds, protests this fiercely, enough to make you wonder if not dodging would have been less painful.
>The behemoth's left claw comes at you from below, as it continues to press forward.

>You stab into its underbelly, your blade catching on the scales for a moment before sinking through with the feeling of cutting cords. Tearing the blade leftward, you open up a wound that is almost entirely inky black, with just a few motes of purple.
>As you move leftward, its right claw comes at you from above and behind.
